THE OMAHA PAII/r JJJSJS : FKIDAV , SEPTEMBER 20 , 1890 , BISHOP WARREN'S ' ADDRESS talks to Glass of Eight Freaohen Admitted to Connection with the Conference. ADVISES PERSONAL CONTACT WITH PEOPLE Anniversary of Ihc Women' * Home MUnlonnrr Soclotr of the Xortli nchrniika Conference I'rovcn nn IntcrcntlnK Rvctit. Bishop Warren's address to the clergy wao the feature of Uio second morning session of the North Nebraska conference. His words wore full of timely suggestions and brimful ot splendid advice. The address \ | was directed to a claw of eight preachers , the conference and ordained as dcacona , but the bishop's remarks were Immensely ap- ptoclated by all the ministers and many of the laity who had visited the morning ses sion for the express purpose of listening to Bishop Warren. The men who were admit ted Into the conference were Hevs. Ell C. Thorpe , A. J. Warne , Oscar P. Mueller , Ilody H. Snider , George W. Shlck , Charles David- eon , E. W. Wllcox John Q Shlck. The bishop exhorted these men , and his 'remarks ' were equally applicable to all of the other ministers , to pay especial atten tion In their labors In the Master's vineyard to personal work. Ho ppoko of the pastoral work of Jesus Christ nnd ncnqrtcd that his great est' successes came as the result of personal contact with men , the close communion of heart with heart. Jesus Christ , he said , deigned to carry tl o gospel to the lowliest nnd made many personal sacrifices In order to spread the word of God. In the early centuries personal work was necessary be cause It was then an offense punishable by death for anyone publicly to acknowledge God , but through the efforts of Ills servants the gospel was perpetuated. Men met to gether In private , on obscure highways and in secret closets , where they discussed His omnipotence nnd spread the glad tidings Insofar as they were able. Paul's personal contact with the people availed him In the 4 epreadlng of the now religion. "Oh , breth ren , " said Bishop Warren , fervently , "we must take up this same work if we are to foe successful. " The bishop , continuing , said personal work was productive of better re- nulta nnd brought moro people to the king dom of Christ than any other agency. Vast multitudes throng the houses ot God and listen to the eloquent messages of Hla Berv- nnte , but once outside the edifice the mo mentary conviction passes away. To reach people most effectively and to bring new re cruits to Christ It Is necessary for the min ister to meet with the Individual In heart to heart contact. Bishop Warren related numerous effective Illustrations of the success which followed personal effort. Ho told of the great suc cess which Moody , Spurgeon and Dr. Pock enjoyed In their pastoral work because of their constant Intercourse with the people. Ho paid tribute to the late John McQuold , and told cf a time when 'ho ' left his study tit 4 o'clock in the afternoon and went to the. homo of a drunkard. Ho pleaded with him for hours and prayed for nls salvation. At 11 o'clock ho left him , but Christ re mained in the man's heart and saved him , tor to had been converted. HiiHliicNH Mnttcrn. ( Aside from Bishop Warren's address the morning cession was devoted wholly to bus iness. The reports of the Norfolk and Omaha districts wore presented to the con ference , the former by Dr. Hodgetts , pre siding elder , and the latter by Dr. Murray , who road Presiding Elder Maxfleld's report in thojabsVnao of the elder himself. Llko the two reports presented on Wednesday , those showed a most encouraging condition of affairs in Methodist clrcltn. The past year has been marked by the many church Hebts that have been paid , but In the prog- joss of these material things the spiritual elde was not overlooked , for from each charge came reports of quickened activity , nooesslons to the church and conversions to ( ho cause of Christ. The report of Dr. Hodsetts was the last ono that he could hope to present to the conference aa the elder of the Norfolk district , as he has served the limit of time six years and In closing his report ho bade farewell to the ministers of his district. He was happily Burprlsod when , at Its completion , Rev. J. JI. Bothwell of Lyons presented him with a liandsomo dictionary and stand as a token of esteem from the ministers of the Norfolk district. Dr. Hodgetts replied briefly and expressed his gratitude for the remembrance. Ho stated , however , that It might have been of more use to him had a Spanish dictionary been presented to him. From this It was Inferred by the con ference that the doctor haa been assured of nn appointment to the head of the Porto Rlcan missions , In accordance with a rumor .which has been current for some time. A resolution was presented and heartily adopted to the effect that the delegates to the general confcrenco should urge that the Omaha Christian Advocate be placed upon the samn footing as the other Advocates published by authority of the church , and further , that in case an additional book de- po ltory la established Omaha should re- celvo first consideration. Rev. S. W. Gamble of Ottawa , Kan. , a member of the American Sabbath union , addressed the conference briefly , urg ing that its members exert them selves to counteract the pernicious literature which Is being widely circu lated for the purpose of Increasing favor In the celebration of Saturday as the Sabbath day. Mr. Gamble has given careful study to ( ha question of the Sabbath and asaerta that there Is no foundation whatever for the ob- Borvnnco of any other day than Sunday. Ho stated that there la a growing sentiment among the Jewish people to celebrate Sun day as the holy day. Believers of the re ligious principles endorsed by the Seventh Day Adventlsts , however , are actively en gaged in stirring up sentiment favoring Sat urday as the Sabbath and tlioy are circulat ing nn immense amount of literature , Its output being exceeded by no other denom ination except the Methodist. Bishop War ren heartily endorsed the statements of Hov , Gambia and earnestly requested that the inlulstcTH glvo tlilH question of the Sabbath L.IK12 HAVKI ) I1Y SWASIl'-HOOT.

Members of the fair sex outnumbered the men in the largo audience room of the Hanscom Park church Thursday afternoon. It wna their inning at the Methodist confer ence and the result was one of the moat enJoyable - Joyablo and successful meetings yet held. The occasion waa the anniversary of the Woman'a Home Missionary society ot the North Nebraska conference. Mrs , Mel Uhl of Omaha gracefully presided and first Intro duced Rev , E. E , Tarbcll , superintendent ot the Wyoming mission. Hov. Tarbell's ad dress waa ot especial Interest because ho epoko from actual knowledge upon the work In which the ladles present wcro most deeply Interested homo missions. He told of the valiant work which the Methodist minis ters are doing In Wyoming , many of them presiding over charges and traveling over circuits far removed from the railroads , but content In their work and blessed in It by the conversion of many eouls. Ho paid a tribute to the cowboys of Wyoming , saying : "A mistaken notion exists with many people ple as to the western cowboys. Many people bcllovo them to bo gruff , uncivilized , uncouth follows with no redeeming qualities , but they are men ! Big-hearted men , emotional and tender under circumstances Just as everyone ono CBO and that they wear slickers , highi i heeled boots and have a giant revolver strapped upon them Is no discredit to them. " Ho spokeof their liberality and their de- slro to listen to the preaching of the gospel. The speaker laid particular strews upon the fact that Mormonlsm Is rapidly becoming rooted In western Wyoming and ho pleaded for the prayers nnd assistance of the good women of the Homo Missionary society In the work of checking this ungodly prac tice : Uov. M. C. Waddell , pastor of Broadway Methodist Episcopal church of Council Bluffs , delivered a magnificent and stirring address In which ho urged the importance of an awakening to the Importance of liber ality In providing sustenance for the con tinuance of the gospel in the frontier fields. His address was made the more Interesting by a masterly recitation of ono ot Long fellow's poems , applicable to his plea { hat a vision might be sent from heaven that would result in the unloosening of purse-strlnga nnd the pouring out of money for use by the Home Missionary society. The poem waa the story of the vision which appeared to the monk , who , after seeing It , hesitated In doIng - Ing his duty of feeding the poor , preferring rather to remain In communion with the vision. Duty triumphed , however. The monk performed hla work of relieving the wants of the poor and returning to his cell found the vision moro gorgeous In Its brightness and awaiting him with words of welcome and praise. Mrs. F. M. Slsson of Omaha spoke briefly but pointedly , expressing the hope that the North Nebraska conference Home Missionary society might nnd itself able to support an additional missionary In western Wyoming where Mormonlam Is becoming rooted. Following the missionary anniversary Rev. G. W. Sample delivered an address on the observance of Sunday as the Sabbath day and Revs. McGregor and Powers con ducted evangelical services , which were largely attended. Bishop Warren delivered hto first public address Thursday night when he spoke at the educational rally In Hanscom Park church. Dr. D. W. C. Huntlngton , chancel lor of the Nebraska Wesleyan university , was the first speaker. Ho dwelt at some length upon the benefits of an Institution where the religious training of the student occupies an important place. He presented the claims of the school over which he pre sides the University of Nebraska Metho dists and gave glowing reports of the be ginning of the present school year. There are more students than ever before In the history ot the school and noticeable enthu siasm Is manifested by both faculty and the student body. Ho was followed by Bishop Warren , who held'-tho undivided attention' 'the audi tors as ho spoke In a gener'al'way along ed ucational lines. "God , " ho said , "has not reserved His glfta of greatness for those ranking high In station , but has distrib uted them profusely among the lowly as well. When God wanted a man to loose the shackles of an enslaved people He chose him from among the lowly and selected the humble rail-splitter ; when He wanted a man capable of handling a million men Ho sought him from the tannery. In every walk of life wo find those possessed of great ability. In these Methodist families spread over Nebraska are those Individuals who , possoseed of the advantages of an educa tion , would shine forth with brilliancy so pronounced in its luminous and glorious light as to bo known of men everywhere. God has a way of making out of ordinary material the possibilities of extraordinary resulta. " The bishop exhorted his hearers to make the best out of ever opportunity presented In their lives that they might come up to the high standard sot for them by the Ruler of the Universe.

A new ruse In shoplifting wao sprung on one of the clerks In an Omaha hat Bio re Wednesday afternoon by a man with a big head. A well dressed young man entered the storu and asked to bo ehbwn some Fedora Uala. The clerk observed that he wore a hat of that etyle , apparently new and a size un usually large. The cuttomer was shown the contents ot several boxes , but none of the headwear suited and ho went out without making a purchase , A minute later another customer Informed the clerk that the stran ger fitted one of the Fedora hats Inside his own and walked out with both on his head. LfUifllnily Cluirueil with Larceny. A warrant was Issued yesterday for the arrest of a landlady who held a lodger's trunk to secure the payment of a bill for room rent. Lost spring Emma Taylor , 405 Paxton block , roomed at Sixteenth and Cal ifornia streets with Mrs. Vose , She left owing a bill of several dollars , and the landlady held a trunk containing books and clothing aa security. Wednesday Miss Tay lor applied to the city prosecutor for legal Hid ill recovering her possessions , and -\vaa Informed that the , retention of the trunk was larceny , eo she filed a complaint Against Mra. Vosc , alleging that offense. t SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. A copy of a decree handed down by Judge Dickinson July 25 In connection with the Twenty-fourth street paving tax \saa re ceived at the city treasurer's office yester day. This decision pertnlns to the Fowler property at Twenty-fourth nnd M streets find orders the treasurer to cancel the pav ing tax now assessed ngalnst said property. The particular tax In question amounts to about $1,900 and the decision moans that the city at largo will have to assume this dtfbt. The court holds that Twenty-fourth street from A to Q was paved with asphaltum without any ordinance over having been passed ordering or directing said street to 1)0 paved with such material. Further , the court finds that no petition v/aa over presented to the mayor or the council asking for the pavement of Twenty- fourth street prior to the passage of the ordinance ordering the same. The court also finds that the petition finally flled was not signed by a majority of property owners on Twenty-fourth street. More than this the council did not sit as a Board of equal ization , as required by law , to dotormlno the special benefits to the property pro posed to bo taxed. Continuing , Judge Dick inson asserts that no petition was ever submitted to the council asking for the curbing of Twenty-fourth street. In con clusion , the court holds that the mayor and city council had no power or authority to pave and curb the street In question and to assess the cost to the abutting property. All taxes thus levied to pay for this work are- declared null and void. In a similar suit brought some time ago Judge Fawcett , said : "Tho petition sets out qulto a number of reasons for declaring the assessment void. The defense set up Is a denial of most of the plaintiff's allega tions and also a plea of laches and estoppel. With great reloctanco I have reached the conclusion that I roust hold this assessment absolutely void. I say with great reluc tance , for I dlsllko very much , as courts always do , to render a , decision -which will probably operate to defeat a municipality In the collection of a' considerable sum of money In the way of taxes to reimburse It for moneys which It has expended In the making of Improvements. I will say , In cidentally , that I have never 'been ' much In sympathy with the law which requires or permits the levy of the entire cost of the paving of a street upon the property abut ting upon that street , and I think the Ini quity of that law was never better shown than In this case. " Continuing1 , Judge Faw- cett said : "In the city ot South Omaha Twenty-fourth street Is practically the main artery of the city. It Is a street that every citizen of South Omaha Is Interested In and people not living on Twenty-fourth street ami not owning any property upon that street and not liable for any of these spe cial assessments are the ones wbo are reap ing the greatest benefits from tnis pave ment. I refer particularly to the stock jards and packing houses. " Judge Fawcett holds with Judge Dickin son that .thoro waa no sufficient petition of the ownera of the loot frontage upon the street presented to the council and there fore grants a pereptual injunction against the collection of the tax. The Fowler case Is only one of many yet to bo heard. According to notice already given twenty-nine plaintiffs are Interested In suits now pending against the city , ask ing for the cancellation of this tax. There has been a disposition In the past to censure Judge Montgomery , the city at torney , for not fighting these cases , and the decree of Judge Dickinson mentions the fact that the city ma-do no defense. In this con nection It might be stated , that City Attor ney-Montgomery eomoithne agojcallod the attention of the city coWriell to these' . coses ' and stated that It wou'liFbe'a "waste " of time and money to put up A legal fight. The decision of two'of the JUdges of the district court shows that 'Montgomery was right. When the notice of the Fowler decree was served on the city treasurer yesterday City Attorn ; 4 Montgomery said that there Is no use In fighting the cases yet to come , as In his opinion It iwould be a waste of time and money. A portion ot this tax has been paid into the city treasury , but those who have not paid will not do so , and con sequently the city at largo will be called upon to assume the Indebtedness. This indebtedness amounts to almost $75,000 at the present time. It will most likely bo necessary to .make' a levy for the "purpose of taking up these ibondswhen they fall due , or else vote bonds and pay the principal andi Interest out of the Judg ment fund. One of the peculiarities noticed In looking over the record Is that the ordinance di recting that the paving bo done -was passed thirty days prior to the presenting of the petition. This fact alone would Invalidate the tax , even If all the signers of the peti tion wore owners of property abutting on Twenty-fourth street. Honvr Ijv | < > Stnulc ItrceliitH Continue. Business at the stock yards continues brisk , the receipts being beyond expecta tions nearly every day. At the close of business Wednesday night the decrease In cattle receipts had been reduced to 2,356 head and the decrease In sheep receipts to 10,340 head. With three months yet to go on this year's record , It Is presumed that tha desreaso In cattle and sheep will bo wiped out and that the year wlil show a fair increase as compared with 1898. For the four days of this week 'the ' receipts show this total : Cattle , 29,109 ; hogs , 33,011 ; sheep , 31,711. This makes 63,831 head , cx- cluslvo of horsea and mules.

While the attention ot the people Is held by the demonstrations that accompany the arrival of King Ak-Sar-Ben , there Is little effort on the part of Douglas county cam paign managers to engage In an active campaign. The politicians of all parties as sume that there la nothing to be gained by forcing matters while the pageants of carnival week are In progress , and even the ward meetings have been called off until the show is over and the people ready to turn their attention to serious matters. The politicians are taking a week oft and get ting ready to go Into the contest with new energy next week. Both the republican and democratic county committees will begin a systematic campaign early In the week and the Issues will .bo kept constantly before the voters from that time until the elec tion. tion.Tbo Tbo republican county headquarters la open , but nothing is 'being ' done except to attend to the preliminary arrangements for moro active operations. Chairman I. J. Dunn of the democratic committee expects to open headquarters In the Paxton block early In the coming week , and opening ward meetings will also bo held during the week. The progress already 'been ' made cby the various ward organizations Is regarded as one of the most favorable features of the republican campaign. In ordinary off years the ward clubs do not liven up to any ex tent until after the central committee has got to work and encouraged them to or ganize. This year , however , the ward clubs have gone to the head of the procession and several weeks before the committee was reorganized wore holding exceptionally well attended meetings In every part of the city , It Is also noticeable that these meetings are attended by a claw of voters not usually out except In national campaigns. The business element Is 'much in evidence , and when the central committee takes hold of the campaign It will .find the working forces of the party more gerioralli' In line than Is usual at this stage In the contest. Political workers whoso sagacity Is born of experience have observed that when business men get Into politics it presages republican success.
